Sorry, Smot - I see you asked 'any clues?' and might not have wanted the answer. I'd probably have made a mess if I had tried to give you a nudge.

Thanks Malone - I guess it was tricky trying to hint when there was so little left to be done!

Finshed now :-)

Thanks, Smot - and the clue being from Private Eye can sometimes cause problems (politeness, terminology etc!).

Having trouble with LOI (24d, 25). Crossers suggest an answer of, shall we say, "1.27 cm" but I can't parse.

Geeker, I don't have the clue, but what you suggest could be rhyming slang for 'to steal'

That's it Geeker ..

Henry = HAL

Following = F

Creep = INCH

As Mattrom says, it's Cockney Rhyming slang - 'half inch'/pinch.

Thanks, mattrom and Brendan. I know the HAL device perfectly well, but misread "following", fixated on Henry as the final "H" and stalled out. 😳
